I wouldn't have sway control bars if you paid for them. Mine came with one bar, but I gave it away the first time out.
Brake controller with manual (and accessible) lever is all I need.
Let us know how that works out for you in some of the 50 mph crosswinds across Kansas, and Nebraska sometime. Hopefully, I'll not be close to you...
If I drove past you in the same situation and noticed an anti-sway friction bar on your rig, I would move away from you also.
So no worries... the feeling is mutual.
You won't ever see an "anti-sway friction bar" on anything that I pull, but you WILL see the AirSafe/Reese DC that will be properly
adjusted.
I can't argue with you on theory that the brake control technique will work, but problem is, when a strong gust hits you, and a serious sway event occurs, you probably won't be able to react in time to resolve the problem.
Years ago Holiday Rambler had a feature called "ASCS", (Automatic Sway Control System) that sensed sway, through a gyroscope (I think) that did work effectively. For some reason, I think they were the only company that used it.
Have a good day.
